Okay guys. It's starting to get out of hand. Let's use the word "support" instead of "second".

Each member can nominate 1 (one) person, and support 1 (one) other person already nominated. You cannot nominate and support the same person. And you cannot support more than one person.

I would like to ask all those who supported and/or nominated more than one person to chose who they are nominating and who they're supporting, and re-post.

Thanks.

Are you bored? Things to do. lol
 

Bored? Listless? Help is at hand!
Pass away the pointless hours with our list of things to do when you're bored

Things you can do with absolutely nothing
Things you can do with very little
Things you can do with another person

THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
See a variety of blobs, stars and flashes. Try to make out shapes and see if your subconscious is trying to send you a message (perhaps that funny shape is saying, 'send all your money to urban75.com'?)

See how long you can hold a note
(Amusement Potential: 4-20 minutes)
Not that much fun, but it sure passes the time. Play with a friend, or try to beat your own personal best. Inhale deeply and then try and make a noise for as long as you can. Earn extra points for making your partner laugh or ending on an amusing note.

Try to not think about penguins
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway.

Use your secret mind power
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Pick a passing by and try to use your mind power to command them do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true, so you can convince yourself that you really have super human powers and waste even more time trying them out.

Pretend you're a robot
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Walk down the street with mechanical movements, adding 'zzzzzt' sounds with each motion. Pretending to have a motor broken in, say, your left hand can add at least 30 seconds more entertainment.

Scratch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn't that feel pretty good?

Rate passers by
(Amusement Potential: 10-15 minutes)
Secretly award passers by marks out of ten as you go along, offering (unsaid) expert criticism over their clothing, hairstyle and footwear choices.

Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Pick a random word out of a magazine and say it aloud to yourself until it becomes a meaningless set of noises.

Pinch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
What is pain? Why is it unpleasant? There's nothing physical about it - it's all in your mind. Plus, after pinching yourself for awhile, boredom will seem nice next to being in pain.

Try to swallow your tongue
(Amusement Potential: 1-2 minutes)
There's not much to say about this one. It is possible, but really stupid.

Pretend to be a car
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Make appropriate revving noises in your head as you walk along and add a racing commentary as you pass strangers in the street. Use blinking eyes as indicators for extra authenticity.

Make Star Trek door noises
(Amusement Potential: 1-2 minutes)
Stand by an electric door to a bank or something and make that silly "Scccccccchwop" sound heard whenever people popped on to the bridge to hang with Captain Kirk.

Look at something for awhile, shut eyes, study after image
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
Another great time waster. It takes about 30 seconds of staring to create an after image, and the image is then viewable for about the same length of time. Fun to combine this one with pushing on your eyes.

Get yourself as nauseated as possible
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Best achieved by looking straight up and spinning around. Try to be so dizzy you can't even stand up. This is also entertaining due to the "makes boredom seem a lot better" effect (see "Hurt Yourself").

Invent a weird twitch
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Adopt a bizarre twitch (e.g. flicking your head irregularly, twitching with eye or busting out sporadic cough noises) and try it out when you go shopping.

Make a low buzzing noise
(Amusement Potential: 15-30 minutes)
Hours of fun in libraries! Keeping a totally straight face and looking nonchalant, make a low pitch humming/buzzing noise and see who reacts.



THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH VERY LITTLE

See what's in your neighbour's rubbish/trash
(Amusement Potential: 20-30 minutes)
You can learn a lot about people by what they throw out. You might uncover some dark secret about them. Plus, they might be throwing out something with value that still works, like a VCR or some porn mags.

Watch TV, repeat everything said in Italian accent
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Sort of entertaining. Include flamboyant shoulder shrugs for added impact, or go for a Marlon Brando set of grunts.

Send spooky emails
(Amusement Potential: 15-60 minutes)
Look up someone's CV on the web, do some research on them via Google and then send them an email full of personal references claiming to be an ex-work colleague who fell in love with their shoes. Or something.

Play our useless games
(Amusement Potential: how long have you got?)
Waste away the hours with our collection of useless games

Make prank phone calls
(Amusement Potential: 20-60 minutes)
Very entertaining, but requires discipline. Remember - vulgarities don't make a call funny, but getting the other person to believe a ridiculous story will. Try seeing if you can get them to make noises to 'test' the line. One to get you started off: Call McDonalds with weird complaints about their food.

Pretend all humans will die except for people in room with you
Amusement Potential: 10-20 minutes)
What would you do if this really happened? Would the group stay together, or would there be factions? Who would join what group? Remember, there would only be power for a few days before the plants ran out of fuel or broke. To travel, you would always have to be near cars to siphon gas out of. Best to do with people you know.

Step off a curb with eyes shut, imagine it's a cliff
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
To get any benefit out of this one, you have to have a good imagination. Don't step off immediately, build up to the jump. Study the ravine below. Feel the winds at that altitude. Step off and...AHHHHHH!!!!!

Try and sound Welsh
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
The key to sounding Welsh is to make sure that your voice goes up at the end of the sentence, so that everything sounds like a question. Throw in a superfluous 'isn't it?' at the end of everything you say and you're halfway there. Isn't it?

Burn things with a magnifying glass
(Amusement Potential: 5-30 minutes)
Ants are always fun to use for this, but burning the face of someone you don't like, under some circumstances, can be just as entertaining.



THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH ANOTHER PERSON

Have a water gargling contest
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Put a glassful of water in your mouth and see how long you can keep gargling for. Award yourself extra points for loud and amusing gargling noises, and minus points if you laugh.

Stare at the back of someone's head until they turn around
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
This works on the "I have the feeling I'm being watched" principle. Conduct an experiment-does this really work?

Have a "Who is less competitive" competition
wonder (Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Trying to win at this will make you lose. Trying to lose makes you win which makes you lose. Not trying at all makes you lose which makes you win which makes you lose.

Pick up a dog so it can see things from your point of view
(Amusement Potential: 3-5 minutes)
Think about it: your dog has only seen the house from a viewpoint from 6" to 2' high (15 to 60 cm for all you metric fans). It's never seen the tops of counters, what you keep on your desk, the tops of shelves, etc. Try looking at things from its point of view, too.

Pull out a hair, stick in someone's ear
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
Best done to sleeping people. Added challenge in having no one else around, because then you can't blame it on anyone else. Try to beat your record number of times before the person catches on.

Pour water in hand, make sneeze noise, throw water on back of person's neck
(Amusement Potential: 5-15 minutes)
Always a good gag. For an even bigger reaction out of the person, act like you're not sorry at all for what they think you did. Comment instead on how big that sneeze was or about how there was a lot of mucus in that one.

DISCLAIMER: Obviously, a lot of these suggestions are really dumb things to do, so don't take them seriously.

And whatever you do, don't be as stupid as this halfwit from New Jersey who mailed us this: "we attempted your 'water drinking contest' we drank 48oz of water each in about 7 min, and 3 seconds later we were puking uncontrollably all over the kitchen. how dare you put this on your web site its very dangerous and health dangering. legal action may take place since you have no warnings on your site explaining you are not responsible for out comes of ''useless games' or the possible risks. please contact me back so we can settle this matter with out involving the law.

great job Justin. The car looks great.

Awesome Pics Todd and Awesome work Justin! Yesterday I celebrated my B-Day and we went to Superdawg - it was a lot of fun. Today I judged a car show and my Fiance entered his 92 Z28 and won a trophy! There were like 70 cars there - great turnout!

and thanks everyone...i take pride in making cars look beautiful and lucky the car is already a awsome car

justin, that 1st shot of the camaro is great, you know you did a good job when the car REALLY sparkles, lol. the lil reflection off of the wheel, & the other near the roof, its almost like a corny carwash comercial, lol. looks damn good :D

oh, i gots to ask.... what year jeep?

chris, imma see if i can get pics of the lil car tomorrow, plus dad says i need to clean my stuff outta the attic, so ill get pics of my other old models :)

and space, i WISH this thing was worth a million, im not to worried about playing with it, i have probibly over 150 that i played with endlessly that are out of the package, and maby another 120 in their packaging, caus i tacked them all up across the wall above my bed for a while :) god that was cool, lol.

it's like a 2001 chearoke limited..so nothin special... we broke 3 sockets 2 rachets burnt up a extention cord powering the compressor, ended up taking my air chisel and chisled off the one stud that

would not come out... F IT WACK THE F'ER OFF.... my ma came out and was like sounds like a machine gun out gere

i can picture it well justin, i've done some pretty f'ed up things in my younger days when working on cars!!!! great post man

o man i could go on for days about meased up things ive done working on cars.....some one should make thread sometime...prolly get as many hits as the wors assoc thread

that's ok. my dad was doing bodywork on my car in the pouring down rain with nothing to light his way but a 75 watt bulb on an extension cord. And he's in his 60's.

HAHA for sure! LOL...not really, but hey, maybe that would work...:D

I just got back from the Gilroy outlets with my mom and sister...omg, I don't think i've been out shopping in like 2 years...LOL. We spent 6 hours down there...and of course, I spent the most money. LOL. Oh well, I got So REALLY good deals on stuff. So I got some new shoes, new dress shirts, a few polos etc for work. Also got two new pairs of Etnies tennis shoes (2 pairs for $50 bucks, and I needed new shoes anyway). Oh and I got a new pair of Oakley sunglasses, most expensive pair of sunglasses i've ever bought, but oh well, I liked them...So I got back in the car $300 poorer, but what the hell, I NEVER spend money on myself, unless its for my car of course. But its been years since I went out and bought myself some new cloths and everything, so I just figured screw it, I work hard, so I deserve to splurge once in a while. :D:D:D

AGH gotta be at work 10.5 hours already!:( Then off to school in the afternoon....:(

Michael, I just spent 300 dollars on front tires and an alignment. Then I went and spent more money on myself... bought a new coach purse, some sunglasses to match, got my hair colored and nails done... yea i am going after the "drool" factor here lol. next time kevin sees me if there is a next time after the stunt he pulled last night, he isn't going to know how to control himself.

oh wait. he already can't control himself.

LOL...Yea, im sure he will be happy to see you!

Usually I throw money at my car, so it was weird to spend money on myself...part of me felt good about it, and another part of me didnt want to fork over the money every time I checked out..LOL my cheap side...haha Go figure nothing but the best for my Monte, and I go cheap on myself...

Same here. Kevin doesn't spoil his car at all... instead he spoils himself AND ME when he can. His grandam is a beauty. galaxy silver metallic. I think I might buy him some window tint for his birthday.... to cheer him up. I dont know he might be jealous though, he'd be like "you like the car more than me". Maybe I'll buy him some clothes or cologne. Standard guy gifts.

I'm cheap too. I want nothing but the best for my monte, because it's a reflection of myself, but you will never catch me paying $60 for one pair of jeans. I won't even pay $30 for one pair of jeans. Unfortunately when you're a fat girl, you buy what you can find, whether you can afford it or not....

Hey Justin I got lots of stories like that as well. When I was living in las vegas I was working on my WRX in my apartment complex parking lot. I had the car on jack stands and was swapping the exhaust. It was 115 out side. I was underneath the car sweating like a pig. After 2 hours I was starting to get heat stroke. I looked over and the jack stands had sunk an inch into the asphalt. I crawled out from under the car and my clothers were soaked through with sweat and my nose starting bleeding. It was all worth it though as the car sounded bad a$$ with the new exhaust.
